2 KINGS 5:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord.”
Elisha consents to the request — the allowance honors Naaman's devotion while acknowledging the physical reality of exile: he carries Israelite soil home as a tangible connection to the covenant God.
